I do understand the host look up delay.  Explains why Apache has host look 
up off and responds instantly.

The slow response is any connection inside the network and out.  I can 
send you the IP address if you would like to see the delay yourself.  I 
have the two domain servers for the network is resolv.conf, they are the 
authority for the network.

This is on the network at my ISP.  I am converting several BSDI boxes over 
to Mandrake for production use.  The two DNS boxes are still running BSDI, 
but are functional.  

Thanks for any help.....
